Well, just like we flattered to deceive in the first few games of the season, we aren't as bad as the last few games would indicate. TC is trying to change the way we play and it's not all going to be plain sailing, I think we have to give him the benefit of the doubt that he has a plan, Vieira has been injured a fair bit and Klich does need some game time, he came with a very big reputation. Ekuban will hopefully be fit soon and we can see if he can make it in this League. There aren't a stand out teams in the league (exc wolves?) so, I think playoffs is still a reasonable possibility. Plus we should have a bucket load of dosh to spend in January.
Green went because he wanted to go. ttfn Richard -----Original Message----- From: Leedslist [mailto:leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org] On Behalf Of Jeremy Thorpe Sent: 16 October 2017 14:40 To: '{broken-address} Richard Walker' <richleed...@yahoo.co.uk.is-broken.gn.apc.org>; leedslist@gn.apc.org Subject: Re: [LU] Reading I pretty much agree with this. I said after the Ipswich game that we were over powered in midfield that day and at Millwall, Cardiff plus the Wendies afterwards. Without doubt Philips is at the root of the midfield malaise where his goals have flattered to deceive the fact that he is not capable of stamping any authority on a game. Midfield is disconnected from defence as well as Saiz in attack. I'm starting to lay the blame firmly at TC's door. It's not the players passion but his selection. Philips has to go and make way for Viera. I feel O'Kane may kick on with him alongside but if not I'd consider Dallas in there. At least he knows what's needed to win, a bit risky perhaps but I do like Saiz, Hernadez and Alioski playing behind the "Deutscher", we just need some combative midfield behind them to make it work. In defence Jansson is off colour but anyone would playing alongside Cooper who still is an accident waiting to happen. Beradi / Anita and Ayling all OK even though Ayling got caught out for the Reading goal more often than not he's saved us. It nearly works just needs TC to realise what's needed before the calls for his head begin. Oh yeah Lonergan should have cemented his place and I said before why did we get rid of Rob Green??
